THE CHURCH HAS THE DOMINION
Yet when we are among the full-grown (spiritually mature Christians who are ripe in understanding), we do impart a [higher] wisdom (the knowledge of the divine plan previously hidden); but it is indeed not a wisdom of this present age or of this world nor of the leaders and rulers of this age, who are being brought to nothing and are doomed to pass away (1 Corinthians 2:6 AMPC).

The rulers of this age are being brought to nothing, and this isn’t something that God is doing from heaven. Rather, it’s happening through us, through the authority He’s given to the Church. We’re His battle axe and weapons of war, enforcing His will on earth with the authority vested in us.

Therefore, when you talk about the evil forces of this world, the principalities of darkness and their works, affirm what the Word says about them: "they are brought to nothing." The greater One lives in you and His authority is supreme over all the powers of this world. We’re in the Church age and the Church has the dominion.

The Lord Jesus gave us the authority; He said in Matthew 28:18-20, “…All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth. Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen.”

We’ve been empowered by the One who has all power in heaven and in the earth. So, in His Name, we tame situations, discipline circumstances and enforce the will of God in the earth. Our words are by the Spirit of God; therefore, they prevail in the lives of men and in the nations of the earth. Blessed be God! The Church will continue to reign gloriously, exercising dominion over the adversary and his works until the Rapture. Isaiah 9:7 says, “Of the increase of his government and peace there shall be no end, upon the throne of David, and upon his kingdom, to order it, and to establish it with judgment and with justice from henceforth even for ever. The zeal of the LORD of hosts will perform this.” Hallelujah!

Prayer / Confession
Dear Father, thank you for the wisdom of your Word and the authority vested in your Church to enforce your will and establish your righteousness in the earth. The schemes of men and the structures of darkness are dismantled by the power of the Holy Spirit, and your Word prevails in all the earth, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
